[Tournament] Armoured Persona Season 3: Back in the Game – Week 2

It’s their first real tournament in a long time, and the Gun Striders couldn’t be more pumped to finally be competing again. Their speedy strategy in the first match paid off with a decisive victory, and now they’re all excited smiles and nervous adrenaline as they await the start of the next skirmish… that is, except for their fearless leader.

 Elenor: Snap out of it already, it’s time to suit up for the next one.

 Arlette (moping): Uh huh…

 Klara (kindly): Cheer up – you know how Rin’s like. I’m sure she didn’t mean to be harsh. Maybe we can talk things out with her after the tournament?

 Mikhail: What was with that warning, though? “Things aren’t what they seem”? Sheesh, trust her to go acting all mysterious…

 Nikolai (shaking his head): Come on, comrades – we need to focus on the tournament. Isn’t that why we’re here, as a team? We’re going to reclaim the Gun Striders’ glory. We’re going to show everyone we’re back in the game, just like Adam would’ve wanted. And we can’t do it without our big boss! (ruffling Arlette’s hair affectionately) Come on, squirt. Let’s go get warmed up. I’ll even race you to the field!

 Arlette (cracking a small smile in spite of herself): You sure you can keep up, old man? The last I recall, you were out of breath just climbing up the steps to the garage…

 Nikolai (with a big belly laugh): Big talk for such a little lady! You’ll soon be eating your words!
